Yep! Definitely great shots! I've been spending my time looking for macro flower shots. You've got me wondering what above me that I've missed.

I'm not used to seeing the Great Blue Heron. Does it really have light blue legs?

No. It's reflection from the sky (and all the bird has some bluish tint on this photo). Otherwise I like the comment from Click!

Don't worry: it could be just few clouds?

There's a a very good shot in the latest post (by @gh4photos) of a Great Blue Heron now so I can compare colours. The bird with the blue legs also has a much brighter and vivid coloured beak and perhaps the whole image has been colour enhanced rather than just reflection of the sky?

Hobby flew past and I just had time to fire a seconds burst at 800mm on the R5ii. It had caught and was eating dragonflies I discovered afterwards!

I like the pose of eating while flying in the first photo.

Lucky the flying traffic cops didn’t give him a ticket.

He's not watching where he's going. I hope he's TCAS equipped

She brings the meal home; it's time for dinner. Nicely done, Alan.

I like the red-winged blackbird pose in the air. Well done, Noreaster.

Well done, Alan. I really like the diving one.
